The book, Hoops, is more of a slow book, so not much has happened. So far, two important events are...
1. Lonnie Jackson gets in a fight with a homeless man.
2. The reader is introduced to Lonnie Jackson's character.

The mood in the book right now is suspenseful. This is because Tom is learning, but he has seriously injured himself, therefore we don't know what exactly will happen next.

I like this book because it's about a boy and the nature.

In my book, "Surviving Bear Island." Tom Parker is stranded on a island. He feels alone, useless, and desperate. I can connect to this because when I broke my arm I felt useless and desperate to get better; and get back to a 'normal' life, where I could use both arms.

I think the current mood is tense and curious. This is because where Brian is, he experienced -50 degrees and below. The trees in the forest are changing, and one exploded, and almost killed him. "The woods in the summer were a certain way and now they were a different way, a completely different place. And if he was to stay alive he would have to learn this new place, the winter woods." page 103.
